Dalsnibba is often covered by snow even in the summer. The Norwegian County Road 63 passes along the south side of the mountain, and from that road, there is a private toll… Continue reading Dalsnibba
Geiranger boat trip
The next day, we checked out of the hotel and went for a boat ride on the Geiranger fjord. The two most notable waterfalls in the Geiranger Fjord are Seven Sisters Falls and the Suitor.

Geiranger
Our destination for the long day of travelling and sightseeing was Geiranger, at the bottom of the Geiranger fjord. The road leading down to the fjord was a bit steep and full of turns, but not as much as Trollstigen that we had been driving earlier in the day. And this had a good view… Continue reading Geiranger

And as we waited for the new tourist attraction to open in the morning, we sat down for a cup of coffee… Continue reading Åndalsnes

After the hike to the glacier, we drove the short stretch to another little place called Loen. Our main objective here was to take the Loen sky lift and enjoy the amazing view from the top.
